New Haven school officials probing death of 8-year-old girl

NEW HAVEN (AP) -- New Haven officials say they're investigating the death of an 8-year-old girl who became unresponsive on a city school bus.

Officials say the girl slumped over in her seat while riding the bus home from Lincoln-Bassett School on Monday and died at a hospital on Wednesday. Her name hasn't been released.

The girl's grandmother told the New Haven Independent that the girl had a heart condition. The grandmother said that when the bus arrived at the girl's stop Monday, the driver told her that her granddaughter was unresponsive.

The grandmother told the Independent that no one on the bus called 911 and her adult son tried to revive the girl after he phoned for help.

School officials say they're working with the bus company to review policies and procedures.
